During menstruation, women's body immunity decreases and they are sensitive to many external factors. At the same time, many diseases can also take advantage of this situation. So, how can we do a good job of health care during menstruation? Below, experts will introduce you from the following aspects:
1. Dietary restraint: Due to the dissipation of menstrual blood during the menstrual period, adequate nutrition is more needed; The diet should be light and mild, easy to digest, and should not overeat raw or cold foods. Cold can cause blood clotting, easily cause dysmenorrhea, as well as oligomenorrhea or sudden interruption of menstruation. Do not overeat spicy, fragrant, dry, and harmful foods to reduce uterine congestion. Drink more boiled water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and keep your bowels smooth.
2. Cleanliness and hygiene: During menstruation, keep the vulva clean and scrub it with warm water every night. It is not advisable to take a tub or sitz bath, but rather take a shower; Sanitary napkins and paper should be soft and clean, and it is best to use high-pressure disinfection; Menstrual belts and underwear should be frequently changed and washed to reduce the stimulation of blood stains on the vulva and inner thigh. After washing, they should be scalded with boiling water, and dried in the sun before use; Menstrual pads should be made with sterile gauze and toilet paper. After defecation, wipe from front to back to prevent dirt from entering the vagina, causing inflammation of the vagina or uterus.
3. Emotional regulation: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that abnormal emotions are one of the important pathogenic factors, and the impact of mental emotions on menstruation is particularly significant. Therefore, during menstruation, it is necessary to maintain emotional stability, feel comfortable, and avoid adverse stimulation to prevent irregular menstruation.
4. Combination of work and rest: Working, studying, and engaging in general physical labor during menstruation can promote blood circulation in the pelvic cavity, thereby reducing back pain and lower abdominal discomfort. However, heavy physical labor and vigorous exercise should be avoided, as overwork can cause excessive congestion in the pelvic cavity, causing excessive menstruation, prolonged menstruation, and abdominal pain and soreness; And ensure adequate sleep to maintain full energy.
5. Suitable for cold and warm: Pay attention to climate change, especially to prevent high temperature, sunlight, wind, cold, and rain; Or wading for a swim, or washing your hair and feet in cold water, or sitting on the cold ground for a long time.
6. Do not use drugs indiscriminately: Generally, women who have slight discomfort during menstruation can eliminate it automatically after menstruation, and do not need to use drugs to prevent interference with their normal process. If you encounter abdominal pain, excessive bleeding, or prolonged bleeding, it is advisable to consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Do not take medication without permission.
7. Avoid sexual intercourse: During menstruation, the endometrium exfoliates and bleeds, there are fresh wounds in the uterine cavity, and the uterine orifice is slightly open. * * The acidity decreases, and the ability to defend against bacteria decreases. Such sexual intercourse can easily lead to genital inflammation by bringing in bacteria. If the fallopian tubes become inflamed and adhere, they can become blocked, which can also cause infertility. It can also cause menstrual periods to lengthen and even collapse. Therefore, women should prohibit sexual intercourse during menstruation to prevent infection.
